Corwyn Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 I'm looking for suggestions as to which Pulp adventure PDF to pick up to run for my crew as a one-shot, just to give the genre a spin. The group will be a rather eclectic bunch of archtypal characters, including a scrappy kid, a fed, a pilot, a gadgeteer, a mage, and a reporter.

Steve Long Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Re: Pulp downloads Hmmm. Sounds like a group with enough "city connections" to have fun with The Radio Marauders or The Locomotive Pirates. But I expect you could find a way to tie them into just about any adventure.

Likely, though it would be easier getting the kid and fed in something they could stumble into rather than traipsing across the globe. Of coourse the kid could be a boy friday and the fed could be semi-retired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corwyn Posted May 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Re: Pulp downloads As it turns out, the player of the kid wouldn't mind being the foreign street urchin/guide found in many of the pulps so getting him there is not an issue. So I guess the question is pretty open - which one? The only thing they really want as a group is 'the map'. You know, the scene where you have a map on the screen with a dotted line showing their route. So we need to involve travel - a prologue in the states that leads to some foreign locale, a chase from Cairo to some unexplored pyramid, etc. They've also responded badly to mysteries in the past so fairly straight-forward mysteries are a plus as well. Nazis would be a nice touch but hardly mandatory. So, with that criteria in mind, I'd like opinions on which of the online Hero plus adventures people here think are the best. I'm aware that there are two with Nazi villains and I think an exotic locale would be good so my short list would probably be: Nazi Death-Zombies Of The Congo! Fangs Of The Scarlet Serpent Tablets Of Destiny The Voodoo Cross Curse Of The Vulture-God The Malay Coins The Golden Idol Of Sikral The Locomotive Pirates The Dordogne Zodiac Spears Of The Tisangani Tablets of Destiny and (obviously) Nazi Death-zombies involve Nazis and all of them seem to have some sort of travel, even if it's just part of the prologue (except possibly Voodoo and Zodiac). So which of these would be the best for a group on their first pulp outing (outside of a one shot playing Doc Savage's men) - best written, most entertaining and fun, travel (preferably during the adventure), amusing villains.
